Deposed Crown Prince: After three years of service on the frontier, the entire court knelt and begge

Those generals seemed to have great respect for the renowned Lannister Rambo!

Lannister Rambo invited them to the banquet hall of the main battleship.

It is no easy feat to create such a large banquet hall within a main warship.

Inside the banquet hall, there was a long dining table.

Next to this long dining table, there is a piano playing light and cheerful music.

Upon hearing the light and cheerful music, Lannister Rambo invited everyone to take their seats.

After they were seated, Lannister Rambo spoke first: "Gentlemen, it's been a long time since we last met. Almost everyone has seen each other before, right?"

The others nodded in agreement.

What followed was a string of polite words, which surprised and disappointed Yin Pan'er.

These Western naval commanders were not treacherous or sarcastic.

They all seemed to admire Lannister Rambo and were willing to follow his orders completely.

Therefore, there was no backstabbing or infighting, and the meal went very smoothly without any other strange or unpleasant incidents.

Yin Pan'er had thought that he would be the focus of everyone's attention, but that didn't happen.

Everyone simply greeted Yin Pan'er, and that was it.

Far from the confrontational situation that occurred at the banquet, this event was not held up.

On the contrary, it was quite harmonious.

After finishing his meal, Lannister Rambo, along with several other naval admirals, said they were going to discuss strategies for the battle.

Yin Pan'er was naturally not invited.

Lannister Rambo invited Yin Pan'er to stay on his warship, and Lucius Golux and the others merely asked for Yin Pan'er's opinion.

Seeing that Yin Pan'er did not refuse, he agreed.

In other words, there wasn't any fierce competition or scrambling to get her.

Yin Pan'er returned to the place where she had been arranged to stay.

After confirming that no one was spying on them, Xiaoyue...

She looked at Xiaoyue with some disbelief: "My lord, there's no one here to guard against us... no one is watching us."

Yin Pan'er said with a smile, "Yes, these Westerners are different from the Westerners we know..."

Xiaoyue said to Yin Pan'er, "My lord, does the level of reverence they have for Lannister Rambo seem somewhat familiar to you?"

Yin Pan'er naturally knew what Xiaoyue wanted to say.

Yin Pan'er said to Xiao Yue, "That's right, he does look somewhat familiar! Are you thinking of the Xiao Kingdom's attitude towards Xiao Ce?"

Xiaoyue nodded: "My lord, have you noticed it too?"

Yin Pan'er smiled and said, "That's right, but it's still different. Actually, I think I understand it now!"

Seeing this, Xiaoyue looked at Yin Pan'er but didn't interrupt.

Yin Pan'er continued, "This is because, firstly, their Western interests have been established for a long time, and their fixed situation has been formed for a long time. The British Empire has always been seen as the big brother."

"Secondly, the Lannister Navy of the British Empire is indeed world-renowned. Its warships are far superior in every aspect, so there's no need for them to compete. They can't compete anyway."

"Finally, although they did come, they didn't treat this as a war at all, but just a joint exercise. Since the Illuminati was in charge, the benefits would still go to the Illuminati. They were just doing their job for money, so there was even less reason for them to compete for it. For them, they were eager to give the leadership to Lannister Rambo."

"After all, according to what I said, they are actually a mercenary group! They are only in it for the money. Now that they have handed over command, they can get paid no matter how well or poorly they do, and they don't have to take any responsibility. What a good deal it is. What's the point of fighting and scrambling? That's why they seem so harmonious."

"As for them, they are a joke to me! In their eyes, an agent is just a puppet; all they need to do is serve me well..."

Xiaoyue nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite: "Sir, what about what the mad Taoist told you to say before... to use you to threaten them? Would you do it...? That mad Taoist seems to have connections everywhere!"

Yin Pan'er shook her head: "Let's take it one step at a time... He might have a way to eavesdrop on us."

Xiaoyue spoke with a nervous expression.

Yin Pan'er made a face at Xiaoyue, then added, "However, it's alright... We came here to help them. If we really see them in danger, we will definitely do something about it!"

Looking at Yin Pan'er's expression, Xiao Yue guessed that Yin Pan'er was saying this to the Mad Taoist.

Although Xiaoyue didn't know how the mad Taoist priest managed to eavesdrop.

However, this is what Yin Pan'er is saying now.

Xiaoyue naturally had to cooperate.

"Yeah, but in this situation, over there, isn't it just that they're getting beaten up?"

Yin Pan'er smiled as she watched Xiao Yue continue.

"That's good, but I'm afraid we won't have that chance..."

After exchanging a few words, the two said they were going to rest.

Xiaoyue was indeed busy, constantly searching for something she could eavesdrop on.

But after searching for a long time, I still found nothing.

In fact, Yin Pan'er had only looked into it, and it was just a guess on his part.

...

At that very moment, Lannister Rambo and his group were also discussing things.

Lannister Rambo then began by explaining the intricate web he had laid here.

Then Lannister Rambo asked, "What do you think, generals?"

Lucius Golux, as Lannister Rambo's number one fan, spoke first: "Lord Rambo, as you wish. To be honest, their dilapidated ships couldn't even get close to you before they were destroyed by the warships you set up."

"And those hidden agents are enough to give them a run for their money. They probably won't even get close before they're eliminated..."

After Lucius Golux finished speaking, the others nodded in agreement.

Marcus Aurelius said, "That's right. Although those barbarians tricked us out of a lot of warships, those warships were all from our obsolete production lines. They treasured them like precious gems. Even if they had some skills and got past those spies, they still managed to get through."

"However, given Lord Rambo's formation, the sea area they'll be navigating will be a natural graveyard for them. In this graveyard, they'll only get beaten up..."

"I simply can't imagine how they could have survived..."

Rust Carr said, "Those bigwigs of the Illuminati really overestimate themselves and underestimate us."

“In fact, using Lannisters against them is an exaggeration…it’s even an insult to Lannisters!”

After listening to Rust Karl's words, Lannister Rambo smiled and said, "That's alright. The whole West is peaceful now, and our Lannister army hasn't experienced a war for a whole year."

"The best whetstone should be war. Even opponents as insignificant as ants can give our warships' cannons a good round, otherwise they'll all rust..."

Lannister Rambo's words were followed by a burst of laughter throughout the conference room.

Upon hearing this loud laughter, Marcus Aurelius asked, "My lord, what if we set up a trap here, but they dare not come? Wouldn't that be a waste of our time?"

Lannister Rambo shook his head and said, "It's alright! We're just idling around anyway. The war expenses are all provided by the Illuminati, so we can take our time. The longer we stay here, the more funds we'll receive..."

Lucius Gallux asked, "Isn't Yin Pan'er supervising here?"

Lannister Rambo shook his head and said, "No need to be afraid... there's nothing to worry about. We're just being cautious, and our army is here to block them out, then we'll slowly withdraw..."

"If that woman dares to spout nonsense... we'll throw her into the sea..."

After Lannister Rambo spoke, the others burst into laughter.

After all, Lannister Rambo really dared to do that.

Lucius Golux said, "Probably not. I've been in contact with this agent... He's not that stupid... He's actually quite intelligent."

Lannister Rambo nodded: "Good, smart one. I'll make her win-win. If she's not smart enough, I'll make her lose alone..."

Marcus Aurelius continued, "By the way, Lord Rambo, I've heard that those ants are quite cunning. Have you been monitoring their waters? Do you need our help?"

Lannister Rambo chuckled and said, "Of course. If I can't even handle this... then I might as well quit... I have many people keeping a close watch on their waters, and we'll know about any disturbance..."

Just then, there was a rapid knocking on the door.

After hearing this, Lannister Rambo stepped aside to open the door.

A messenger in armor first gave a respectful military salute to everyone present, then said to Lannister Rambo, "General, according to our intelligence from the front, those men seem to be making unusual movements!"

Lannister Rambo's interest was piqued: "Oh? You see, we really underestimated them... those ants have quite the nerve. Has their ship moved?"

The messenger shook his head: "No, they seem to be setting off lanterns!"

Lannister Rambo listened with a hint of doubt.

The messenger explained that they had sent countless lanterns into the sky.

"What's going on?"

Lannister Rambo didn't take it lightly and immediately called his men.

I also invited Yin Pan'er along.

Yin Pan'er initially said she was going to sleep, but upon hearing that there was an enemy presence, Lannister Rambo invited them to join him.

Lannister Rambo disembarked from their main warship, while his generals boarded their respective speedboats.

Sitting separately is also to prevent any accidents where everyone is taken away together.

Although the possibility of this is almost zero.

However, even though it's zero, it's still possible for it to happen.

Their speedboat was really fast; it arrived at the front-line ship in less than the time it takes to brew a cup of tea. At that moment, there were indeed some fires in the sky.

Lannister Rambo and his men became wary.

After all, if they had a way to fly, it might really cause them great harm.

Just as the group of generals were discussing what that thing was, although they had taken off, they soon began to fly erratically with the wind, completely out of control.

Yin Pan'er covered her mouth as she listened; these people were actually frightened like this by some Kongming lanterns.

While Yin Pan'er was secretly laughing, the generals noticed something was wrong.

Lannister Rambo smiled at Yin Pan'er and said, "Ms. Yin, do you recognize these things?"

Yin Pan'er nodded and said to Lannister Rambo, "Lord Rambo, you really made the right choice bringing me along this time! These things aren't an enemy attack!"

"It's called a Kongming lantern!"

Lannister Rambo and his party asked in confusion about the purpose of the Kongming lantern.

Yin Pan'er explained, "This means making a wish, praying for blessings... asking the gods for protection!"

After Yin Pan'er explained it this way, everyone in the room burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, these ants are really something else. After they couldn't beat us, they actually started making wishes?"

"Did they wish God would help them? What a ridiculous bunch..."

"We overestimated them. We thought it was some kind of attack tactic, but we never expected it to be like this..."

"What a waste of our trip!"

These generals were filled with contempt and disappointment.

Yin Pan'er simply smiled without saying a word, offering no further explanation.

Seeing this, Lannister Rambo waved his hand and said, "Alright, since it's not an enemy attack, we can go back... However, since they're praying, they might be about to attack, so you all need to be on high alert!"

After Lannister Rambo said that, the soldiers on the surveillance team all agreed.

...

At this moment, Wei Wuji on the other side was directing everyone to pray and make wishes.

In fact, Wei Wuji did this intentionally, just to lull them into a false sense of security.

That way, they can take off in their individual hot air balloons, thus lulling them into a false sense of security and preventing them from being noticed.

Wei Wuji was unaware of the outcome at this point.

However, he thought it must be useful.

As it turned out, the effect was very good; those Westerners ignored these people without any hesitation...
